My Trip to Éire

I'm such a flippin cheapskate.

I don't have a camera

and while I usually go out and buy an £8 disposable and pay the £5 processing with no remorse for the sparse 11 photos that do come out, I was a bit tight fisted and wary this time. So, needing to show off that I have traveled (hehe) I decided to take the cheap DIY route and sketch my meagre ventures in an A5 sketchbook.

So I present you my wonderful trip to Ireland-

the town, Kilkenny in particular.

This was a trip to shake me out of my usual monotony, but mainly to visit my very dear buddy Jude (though I sometimes/oftentimes call her 'Mere' in the drawings). She's been living there the past half year, so she knows her stuff- Irish traditional music, where to get good chocolate biscuit cake, and that bartenders need to pour Guinness from tap in two parts (to my impatience).

Love that girl,

I'll definitely be visiting again for all the fresh air and happy-spirited folk.

Hi Emily,What Dylan says! You're a graduate from Brighton aren't you? I'm on the Sequential Design and Illustration MA at Brighton at the moment, great course! Just a question: how did you choose your agent and how did you approach them? Or did they approach you? And did you send your picture book off to publishers yourself or did you do that through an agent? Looking forward to new drawings! Good luck! Emmi
